Polydektes the Hunter

Polydektes the Hunter (died 431) was a Samothracian mercenary during the Peloponnesian War.

Biography
Polydektes the Hunter came from Samothrace, and it was said that he perfected his animal trade, but, after a while, he found the challenge somewhat lacking. He turned to man instead, and he was seen as a feared and cunning adversary who shunned the lights of the city in order to attack his prey in the dark. In 431 BC, he was hired to hunt down and slay the mercenary Kassandra at the Military Camp of Ioulis on Keos, but Kassandra was able to slay Polydektes in battle.
